Where will you spend your Eternity?

• He is alive just most people either do not know it or refuse to acknowledge it!

  Either way it is a sad commentary!

  So don’t make the mistake of ignoring the most important thing that ever happened and let your existence past into the eternal outer darkness of loneliness…

  If you do not know Him Jesus, stop and pray for God’s enlightenment for your soul…   Because when you come to accept Him as your only Savior; you will win a crown of glory and Blessing for Eternity!   Seek Him in your life!

GOD’S WORD: USE AS DIRECTED

Luke 8,      “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.”

 

Luke 8:11-15

King James Version (KJV)

 ¹¹Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

 ¹²Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

 ¹³They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

 ¹⁴And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

 ¹⁵But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

This parable illustrates the importance of the Word of God.   God’s Word contains total power, but it has to be planted in our hearts and allowed to germinate before it releases that power.

The seed is God’s Word, and the types of ground are the four major categories of men’s hearts.     The Word was the same in each situation, but there were different results in each case because of the condition of men’s hearts – not because of the Word.       The Word doesn’t work for everyone because not everyone will allow the Word to work. The variable in this parable is the condition of some people's hearts.  God’s Word is always the same.   It has the same potential in every heart.

Good ground doesn’t just happen; it must be cultivated. This is the reason why only one out of four persons in Jesus’ parable brought forth fruit.     It takes a lot of time, effort, and diligence to be a fruitful Christian.   The Christian life is not like a hundred-yard dash but rather a 26.2 mile marathon.   It’s quicker and easier to raise weeds than it is to raise tomatoes or corn.

In this whole parable, it was the Word that produced the fruit.        The ground simply gave it a place to grow.         If we will simply put God’s Word in our hearts, protect it, and give it priority in our lives, the Word will produce fruit of itself.

Satan has deceived many people into thinking that they don’t have the talents or abilities to be fruitful Christians,  therefore they never bring forth fruit!  

Because it is the it’s God’s Word in your soul that brings fruit!   When we protect the Word sown in our hearts, it will do the rest.
